Granted...I am a beginner in the Linux world (Only about 5 months
worth of playin')....

I agree with Jamey....

Its intuitively obvious that there indeed have been, and continue to
be, many contributors to "Linux".

Speaking for myself...I say thanks to all of the contributors!!!!

As far as monetary rewards are concerned...I am at a loss as far as
how that should be divided...is there any way to do this without
insulting someone or some froup???

Dom.
